The Logan correspondent OF
the Columbus Journal, following
in the line of thought published
in the Sentinel of last week.
touching the journalistic duty TO
the memory of hicGahan, pre-
se,ts some suggestive thoughts
and warm blcoded sentiments in
a contribution, which We publish
OIL our first page.
Beside the newspaper men
who best know McGahan ard can
best appreciate the testimonial of
O'Gath. the public generally will
be lifted 10 higher and purer
planes by reading and culiivat-

Still Boring That Well.
Wafer, Gas. or Reii,g9 (!

From New Lexington Tril una.
The strange news comes from
Logan that Lew Green, of the
Hooking Sentinel. has been Dig
ging n well. 1t is said that the
well was sunk to a depth of 80
feet, and then walled with stone
from top to the bottom, the rocks
under the town of Logan, "not
reaching all the way down" as
the fat earth philosophers allege.
After being walled it was discov-
cred that The well afforded about
two inches of water.
The editor of the Grubbing
Hoe OF Truth is reported as say
ing that two inclfes is an ample
sumciency for a we'll in Logan.
He says he never saw any water
in The town. and there must be
a very slight demand for it.
We have an impression that
Green was digging for gas. The
rates of the Logan Gas Company
are high, and 1t takes large
quantity Of the article to run the
various presses Of the Sentinel
office, particularly the weisbty
intellectual wheels Of the editor
ial department.
Ten times out of nine the Green
knows what he is about. If that
well fails to furnish either gas or
water in paying quantities, Green
will have it enlarged and an ele-
vator put IN. Then it would be
a safe refuge from political cy-
clones. Every Democratic edi-
tor should have one for The ac-
commcdation of himself and
friends. He could loan his roost-
er cuts 10 the Republican paper.
then camly descend in the eleva-
tor. and be far happier and safer
than a man high up tree on a
dead limb. In the remote acci-
dental case of the election going
Ihe other way, he could call in
his roosters and kindly tender
he elevator9to his Republican
friends.
Therefore, the able and innu-
sn'ial editor of The Grubbing Hoe |
If Truth, is requested not TO be
20 hasty in his criticisms: That
we'll may be all right.

''Who Was they %

This was the question Of the

our penetrating gaze could only

often asked, "Who Was They 2"
as far as we can with truth and
certainty.
One of the most admirable
parts of the procession was the
OK team. The riders were Gen.

Col. 2empel Oh the near OK, both

much attention from the Small

was the performing bear.

W0el Market!

There has been no appreciable
change IN the wool market since
the publication of our last re-
port. Every one seems 10 realize
here that there has been a break
in the prices first offered, but are
still hopeful that they may again
come::up to 35@335 cents. We
believe it is possible for the prices
TO come TO that point again, but
as we remarked last week, can
not now note anything that would
indicate rise above those points,
while the ruling prices for wool
EN- goods argue against a further
advance.

The Glorious Fourth.
How the Day Was spent
i'm Logan.
A PLEASANT DAY. A BIG CROWD AND
NO ACCIDENT.

The celebration Of tho 4ih il
Logan was most gratifying sue
cess.
The intense heat Of Sunday
was not promising for pleasant
weather on Monday, but the
heavy storm that went round the
town Sunday evening and the
slight shower Monday morning
tended 10 cool the atr osphere
and make The day bearable, pro-
vided one kept in the shade.
The day was ushered in with
booming cannon and a general
fusilade or fire crackers, tile small
boy, and his name is legion, hav-
ing slept with his eyes open du-
ring Sunday night, that he might
have a fair start with the sun the
next morning:
The country people commenced
coming into town at an early
hour and by the lime of the first
parade, at half past ten o'clock,
Main street was perfect jam.
Tie parade was carried out at-
cording to program, The knights
of st. John, the fire department,
many citizens, and a wagon bear
ing The Goddess of Liberty" and
a large number of children being
in line. The procession was
headed by the Hook hooking
Band. The side walks along the
line of march were crowded with
people, who expressed themselves
highly pleased with The turn out.
From noon until 2 o'clock the
members of the band, assisted by
the ladies of the city, furnished
an elegant dinner at the Peoples
RIM, and were literally patron
lied.
In the afternoon the crowd had
increased largely and there were
a good many indications of lib.
eral use of fire wafer" but the
good humor of the crowd prevail
ed all during the day, and aside
from a few quarrels, there were
no disturbances or accidents
There was no speech making,
but there seemed 10 he general
understanding that every one
was TO cut loose from all conven-
and have a good time.
At 4 o'clock, P. NJ, the FAN

from the people along The streets.

In the evening there was a fine

Train Them at Home.

There are colleges for females called
seminaries, where people send their
daughters to get polished. They should
be able to teach their children good
breeding at home or give up the child
raising experiment. it seems to me-
The seminary system of rubbing down
their scholars grinds them down pretty
smooth, but unless the sparkle is deep
set it is in danger of giving out before
the polishing is complete. Parents who
have sent their daughters to seminaries
10 be so polished as to be calculated to
shine only in a sumptuously furnished
parlor are the ones who can't under
stand why young men prefer to go il
alone. and can afford to spend their
money playing pool rather than get
married TO one of their scintillating
Jewels. The reason is because young
men can { afford to furnish the setting
required for such costly. ornaments
and by the time they become prepared
10 stsnd the cost the jewels are faded
or are lost. -Philadelphia CaA
